You're invited to another session when we'll have a number of Sundance Saloon instructors on hand, and you can pick one to hoard all to yourself for 10 minutes. This experience is appropriate for all dancers from the beginner-plus to intermediate level. You can choose any style of dance your instructor is comfortable with. On this night we'll have Sheila Schlicht, Citabria Phillips, Kirk Ryan, Charles Sterck, and Ingu.
Just show up, and sign up for a session. Slots will be available on a first-come, first-signed-up basis. Doors open at 6:30 pm. If time and space allow, you may be able to sign up for more than one session. There is no additional fee for this experience.

Sweethearts' Ball / Pink Party Sunday, February 8
Sundance Saloon
We'll celebrate Valentine's at Sundance Saloon this year with a Pink Party. All you need to do is show up dressed in pink, or red, and maybe with a splash of white. Bring your sweetheart, or find one on the dance floor.
This is mostly otherwise just a night of regular lessons and dancing, but we'll have our delectable chocolate fountain and all the trimmings make its return appearance.

Volunteer Opportunities
Please help us! Sundance Saloon is a community effort, dependent on lots of people chipping in a little bit. We are always looking for more help.

Our needs at Sundance Saloon include set-up, front door, and coat-check. Shifts are generally one hour. No experience necessary.
